    How much nicotine do you use in a day?

    3mg x 15 to 20ml = somewhere between 45 and 60 mg. its very satisfying, but I don't really keep track... Nicotine is a safe drug and is not something I plan on abstaining from.

    What strength e-liquid do you VAPE?

    This poll is flawed and aimed only at tootle puffers.

    GP Series by VapourArt - Official Thread for GP Spheroid, GP PAPS, X, GP Piccolo, GP SnP and more - Part 3

    This may be true in some circumstances, and I did double check my negative post (which I had already polished), but my issue was fixed by altering the spring.

    GP Series by VapourArt - Official Thread for GP Spheroid, GP PAPS, X, GP Piccolo, GP SnP and more - Part 3

    I just shortened my switch spring. It seemed like something worth trying, since the mod comes with an extra spring anyway. It fixed a warm button issue I was occasionally having with my low builds. If I would chain vape multiple hits in a row, that thing would progressively get warmer and...

    Bad luck with MBV juices

    Lately, any premium juice that I don't purchase in a shop is either through thedripclub.com or vapeclub.co.uk. These are premium flavors, but you can often find great stuff on sale.

    VTC5s in stock again?

    I told you that I don't know what cells were rewrapped here. Only that the battery performs very well when new. The ones I am talking about are the green Imren sold as 3.7V 2600mAh 38A.

    Moving from VW to Mechanical

    Yeah, I agree. Except I would do the same 8-wrap nichrome coils around 2mm, making the dual build .21 ohm at 20A. I just like it that way, but nothing wrong with .3 either. ETA: lately though, if I would choose to do a 24g build, I would do it with Kanthal 6 wraps. I may be imagining it...

    VTC5s in stock again?

    I don't know what the Imren Green that I mentioned is. All I know is that I push all these batteries really hard and the Imren doesn't get too hot and can handle what I throw at it. So its a safe re-wrap, whatever it is. I've only been using three of them in a triple 18650 unregulated box, I...

    Moving from VW to Mechanical

    you are talking about different gauges of wire though, of course it is drastically different. But with the same gauge, around 2mm ID, nichrome is going to take about 2 extra wraps to be the same resistance. So you could do it the same and just have a lower resistance, or add 2 wraps to each...

    VTC5s in stock again?

    Obviously, a mech. Or an unregulated box. Which is why I brought it up in the first place. But, if you are asking me my opinion without the actual data that Mooch has, the VTC5s hit hard. 25R is good too. The HE2 and HE4 is also good, but not quite there with the VTC5 and 25R. I also...

    VTC5s in stock again?

    I change my batteries so often that its not reasonable for me to start using batteries with drastically lower mAh. I've even got mods that take multiple 18650 batteries and am still even changing those at least once a day with 2500mAh+. Since Mooch has the data points already, they are just...

    How to build a Clapton for a mech mod

    I don't have a lot of experience specifically with claptons, but I do build coils all the time. If presented with the gauges that you have and asked to build something for a mech, this is what I would do: 24g wire with 32g or 34g coiled around it. 6 wraps, 2mm ID. It will heat up fast on...

    VTC5s in stock again?

    It may be a 20A cell, but I think the VTC5 has a slightly higher voltage under load than the other 20A cells. I have sent PM to Mooch asking for another chart to more clearly show these data points, but the VTC5 is a fantastic battery for a mech mod.

    how long can you leave juice in an rta?

    maybe, if you switch flavors often and don't want to have multiple tanks just sitting, an rda is a better option. In addition to be able to change flavors on a whim, you will never have a tank of juice just sitting around, and the amount of flavor and vapor you will get is unparalleled by any...

    Moving from VW to Mechanical

    It depends on the wire gauge: Dual coil 6-wrap around 2mm ID is usually what i do. 22g : about .15 ohm (safer with dual parallel mech) 24g : about .21 ohm 26g : somehere around .3 (i rarely use 26) Those are warm dense vapes on a mech.

    RDA How often to you re-wick?

    I rewick whenever i decide to use an rda thats been sitting for a few days. And sometimes if i notice a decrease in flavor or vapor even with a new battery. It depends on the juices used and the rda build as to how often, but i have so many rdas that i am usually rewicking something every day...

    Lung Inhale vs Mouth Inhale

    The biggest difference is that a lung inhale involves significantly more vapor than a mouth inhale, and so works best with a lot of power since you have to really open the airflow to make it work... so you keep a warm dense vape with a lot of power, but its not uncomfortable because you have...

    Help??- Moving to sub ohm vaping ( wattage, air etc..

    The people vaping sub-ohm using 3mg are generally taking lung hits. This is usually what is desired for this kind of build because the airflow needs to be there, and the vapers enjoy the big clouds. If mouth-to-lung is your preference, then I would stick with a lower power vape. ETA: you...

    "Vaping 24 mg is just as bad as smoking"

    Only tootle puffers vape 24mg anyway. If there is anything bad yet to be found about vaping, the 3mg cloud chasers are going to find it before the 24mg tootlers.
